Dona Frank is the current operator of a medical marijuana dispensary conglomerate. Oakland Organics, Oakland Cannabis Institute, HillCrest Organics, Bayside Organics and Organic Cannabis Foundation are owned and operated by Dona Ruth Frank, and all locations distribute OrganiCann brand cannabis. In the City of Oakland, Dona Frank signed a contract and never paid the owners of an Oakland dispensary more than $1 million, and the city said she purposely avoided going through the process to get a permit. Instead, she sued for misrepresentation of the business and it's cultivation area. In the City of Sausalito, Dona Frank had an agreement with landlord Egri to be solely a lighting store, but later she opened a competing dispensary against the wishes of landlord Egri and tenant CCG. Dona Frank signed this lease as American Growers Exchange, but later opened as Cultivating Wisdom and Bayside Organics. Lisa Gygax, attorney for the American Growers Exchange, said there never was such an agreement. She said a judge had ruled the eviction could be carried out because the dispensaries were illegal in Sausalito. In response, Gygax said she filed an appeal against the eviction, arguing that Egri was aware from the start he was renting the space to a business violating a city ordinance. In employment agreements, Dona Frank implements overreaching, restrictive and illegal covenants. These types of restrictive covenants include non-competes, customer non-solicits, and employee nonsolicits. First, apart from a very few exceptions (such as the sale of a business), noncompete agreements are void and unenforceable as against public policy in California. Second, customer non-solicits have recently been subject to a lot of judicial scrutiny and are only permissible where an employer can legitimately establish that their customer list rises to the level of a trade secret. Furthermore, gang affiliated security hospitalized a former employee during an Occupy OrganiCann protest in Sonoma County where supervisors are looking to overhaul their medical marijuana rules. If you shop at OrganiCann your money supports the exploitation of patients, growers, landlords and the community. Your money is used to lobby cannabis laws out of neighboring communities. Your money supports violent crime. Is it time to disband the Marin Major Crimes Task Force? The DEA? Or the OrganiCann Mafia? https://www.facebook.com/notes/joseph-tremolada/is-it-time-to-disband-the-marin-major-crimes-task-force-the-dea-or-the-organican/10150410742661372
